All About Health, Family, & Fun

Here is proof that spring in in the air, at least in Las Vegas!
I'll tell you all the scientific stuff about this cactus in a bit. As for us we named this cactus Tiger Woods. When we got it last fall it looked just like a golf ball. We bought it at Wal-Mart or the 99 cent store. I have never had cactus until now but they are proving to be really neat. I have always had a yard full of flowers & vegetables until we moved to Las Vegas. The sun is just so hot that it is hard to keep them, unless you have afternoon shade. So that is when I decided to try cactus, I just want something green!
We are having awesome weather! It has been in the 70's! This weekend we should hit 80! For us this is spring weather. Soon we will be over 100 degrees everyday.
If you watch the Nascar race this weekend look for all of the sunburned people! That's how we know who is from out of town! LOL!
